The Children of the Dominican Republic

These are some of the beautiful children we met during our trip to the Dominican Republic in April of 2006. We were in the villages of Don Bosco and Algodon which are near the town of Barahona. We were working with the child advocacy organization called Children of the Nations which is headquartered in Silverdale, Washington. You can learn more about COTN at http://www.cotni.org. These children will steal your heart with their angelic faces and their lovely demeanour. They are beautiful in mind, body and soul in spite of facing almost unbearable poverty and devestatingly difficult circumstances.
